Lydia will soon be 24 weeks pregnant, and the days seem to keep flying by. We are both feeling little Elijah kick more than ever, which has been very exciting. And aside from some difficulty sleeping through the night, Lydia is doing great. She continues to regain energy and work seems to be going better every day.
The changing table and crib are finally together, and they match perfectly. Buying two pieces from different stores made us a bit nervous, but the wood matches and looks like it could be part of a set. But thankfully there will not be anymore furniture to put together in the near future. I got hurt in the process, a nice little cut on my finger, and little got very frustrated. It was not a good evening for anyone. But they are together, and they look good, and that is all that matters. In this first picture, I've got two books that Lydia bought me for Father's Day, both children's books. I am already looking forward to reading them to Elijah. My goal is to make sure he has the same love of reading that I have, because I could not take two people in the house who aren't big readers. Also, the red backpack is my backpack for carrying around Elijah when we go hiking. I cannot wait until he is old enough for us to use it.
We also took some more pictures of Lydia's belly for all of those back in Kentucky. I think she looks adorable.
Currently, we are getting the house ready for visitors. Lydia's sister and niece, Dorian and Camryn, are coming out to stay with us for a few days. We'll pick them up at the train station on Sunday and then I'll drive them to the airport on Wednesday. This will be the first time they have seen our home, and we are so excited about it. They will also be the first to try out the sleeper sofa, so we're hoping that they give it a good report. Our parents are also hoping it gets a good report, as that is where they will be sleeping when they come to visit.
As for me, the book continues to go well, and I am trying to get as much editing done as possible in between getting our place ready. The goal is still to start sending out letters before the summer is over.
We are both looking forward to coming home in July and cannot wait to see everybody. Another reminder, please be saving your Campbell's soup labels and Box Tops for Education for Hilltop Christian School. I will be more than happy to pick them up when we are home in July. We love you all and miss you like crazy.
